National Engineers Week is full of events where alumni can participate – for this event, coaches and judges for #InternsPresent.
Sign up below!
Judge Form
Coach Form

As part of National Engineers Week, the School of Engineering is proud to host Interns Present, our annual signature event that celebrates experiential learning, professional growth, and the power of mentorship. We invite you to give back to the next generation of engineers by serving as an alumni volunteer—either as a presentation coach, a Round One judge, or both.
Interns Present features 12–16 undergraduate students from across engineering disciplines who will present their internship experiences to an audience of peers, faculty, staff, and industry professionals. The event highlights students’ technical work, communication skills, and professional maturity—while giving them invaluable exposure to alumni and industry leaders like you.
Volunteer Opportunities
Round One Judge
As a judge, you will:

Evaluate up to four student presentations in one presentation room
Use a provided rubric assessing delivery, content, personal insight, communication, and visual aids
Help select one finalist from your room to advance to Round Two
Be encouraged to stay for dinner and networking with students, fellow judges, and observers following Round One

Presentation Coach
As a coach, you will:

Meet (virtually) with a student presenter at least twice prior to the event
Provide guidance on storytelling, clarity, confidence, and professional presentation skills
Play a meaningful mentoring role in helping students refine how they communicate their internship experience

You are welcome to serve in both roles. To ensure fairness, coaches will not judge students they have coached.

Please confirm this week if you are able to serve as a judge and/or coach; if so, fill out their respective forms below, and the student lead, Sean Harley (sjh222@scarletmail.rutgers.edu), will take over further coordination.
